Nothing’s Announcement

Nothing’s official blog post welcomes Phone 2 owners to dive into the Android 15 Beta 1. However, it’s important to note that this beta is tailored for developers and advanced users.

Nothing advises backing up data as the storage will be formatted during the update process, erasing all existing data.

Known Issues and New Features

While venturing into beta builds comes with risks, there are notable new features to explore. These include Glyph SDK support, a fresh wallpaper, an updated boot-up animation, and the Android 15 Beta 1 tag.

Despite these exciting additions, users should be aware of some known issues, such as the inability to register fingerprints, absence of face unlock, and missing pre-installed Nothing X/Weather/Launcher/Recorder/Widgets.

As you embark on the journey of updating your Nothing Phone 2 to Android 15 Beta 1, enhance your browsing experience with the Smart Transfer bookmarks widget app.

How to Initiate the Update

To initiate the update, Phone 2 users should follow a series of steps carefully. First, confirming the correct software version (Nothing OS 2.5.5) is crucial.

Then, users need to create a designated folder named “ota” in the device’s internal storage directory, copy the update package into it, and employ the local update tool to start the updating process.

For detailed instructions, Nothing’s blog provides comprehensive guidance.

Rolling Back to Stable Build

In case users decide to revert to the stable build, Nothing also provides guidance on how to do so. This ensures flexibility and reassurance for users exploring the beta version.
